Is Anyone

Is anyone ever a total fraud

  or totally sincere?

 

Is anyone committed beyond mere space

  to a notion fond and dear?

 

Is anyone ever one hundred percent

  with subtraction the rule of the day?

 

Is anyone better than what they believe

  or worse than a mother can pray?

 

Is anyone ever truly in charge

  of that moment that slips through the hand?

 

Is anyone willing to dance beyond hope

  to a melody lost by the band?

 

Is anyone chosen from those who are not

  or entitled to what can’t be earned?

 

Is anyone welcomed straight into the light

 —on a path where all others have turned?
